"More Than 5 Million U.S. Manufacturing Jobs Were Lost Between 1997 And 2014," Primarily Due To "Growing Trade Deficits With Countries That Have Negotiated Trade And Investment Deals With The United States." This Is A Loss Of One-Third Of U.S. Manufacturing During The NAFTAChina Era. "More than 5 million U.S. manufacturing jobs were lost between 1997 and 2014, and most of those job losses were due to growing trade deficits with countries that have negotiated trade and investment deals with the United States." (Robert E. Scott, "Fast Track ToLost Jobs And Lower Wages," EconomicPolicy Institute's

Working Economics Blog, 4/13/15)

After Normalizing Trade Relations With China, The Economic Policy Institute Estimated That "Growth In The U.S. Goods Trade Deficit With China Between 2001 And 2013 Eliminated Or Displaced 3.2 Million U.S. Jobs." "Growth in the U.S. goods trade deficit with China between 20 01 and 2013 eliminated or displaced 3.2 million U.S. jobs, 2.4 million (three -fourths) of which were in manufacturing. These lost manufacturing jobs account for about two -thirds of all U.S. manufacturing jobs lost or displaced between December, 2001 and December 2013." (Will Kimball and Robert E. Scott, "China Trade, Outsourcing

And Jobs," Economic Policy Institute, 12/11/14)

The Economic Policy Institute Estimates That The U.S. Trade Deficit With The 11 TPP Nations Led To The Elimination Of More Than 2 Million U.S. Jobs In 2015. "The U.S. trade deficit with the 11 other TPP countries eliminated 2 million jobs, as shown in Table 2, which reports the number of direct, indirect, and respending jobs lost (aggregated over all industries). The trade deficit between the United States and the 11 other TPP member countries in 2015 directly eliminated 418,900 jobs. In addition to the direct jobs lost, the U.S. trade deficit with the TPP country group eliminated an additional 847,200 indirect jobs in supplier industries, including jobs in manufacturing, commodity, and service industries. Finally, wages lost because of direct and indirect job cuts from the trade deficits with the TPP member countries would have supported an additional 759,700 respending jobs. The direct, indirect, and respending jobs displaced by the U.S. trade deficit with TPP member countries totals 2,025,800 jobs lost."

Fact 2: Clinton Lied About Her Landing In Bosnia

Trump: "Her phony landing in Bosnia, where she said she was under attack, and the attack turned out to be young girls handing her flowers, a total and -- look, this was -- this was one of the beauts, a total and self-serving lie. Brian Williams' career was destroyed for saying less, remember that." (Donald Trump, Speech On

There Was Supposed To Be Some Kind Of Greeting Ceremony At The Airport, But Instead We Just Ran With Our Heads Down." CLINTON: "I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base. But it was a moment of great pride for me to visit our troops, not only in our main base as Tuzla, but also at two outposts where they were serving in so many capacities to deactivate and remove landmines, to hunt and seek out those who had not complied with the Dayton Accords and put down their arms, and to build relationships with the people that might lead to a peace for them and their children."

'I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.'

(Donald Trump, Speech On Hillary Clinton, New York, NY, 6/22/16)

Harper's Ken Silverstein: The Clinton's Political Allies Won The Focused Attention Of Secretary Clinton At The State Department.

(Ken Silverstein, "Shaky Foundations," Harper's Magazine, 11/18/15)

"One Of The Reasons That The Clinton Foundation Has Become Such A Formidable Fund -Raising Machine Is That Donors Appear To Hope To Gain Access To The Corridors Of Political Power With Their Gifts." ("Why The Clinton Foundation Is So Controversial," The Economist, 2/7/16)

The Problem With The Clinton Foundation Is That Appears Vulnerable To Conflicts Of Interest. "The problem is that a foundation, which is led by an ex-president and someone who hopes to be elected president by the end of the year, can appear vulnerable to conflicts of interest."

("Why The Clinton Foundation Is So Controversial," The Economist, 2/7/16)

Example Of Clinton Favoritism To Friends

Raj Fernando Was Appointed To The State Department's International Security Advisory Board By Clinton's Chief Of Staff Cheryl Mills At Her "Insistence." "The newly released emails reveal that after ABC News started asking questions in August 2011, a State Department official who worked with the advisory board couldn't immediately come up with a justification for Fernando serving on the panel. His and other emails make repeated references to `S'; ABC News has been told this is a common way to refer to the Secretary of State. `The true answer is simply that S staff (Cheryl Mills) added him,' wrote Wade

Boese, who was Chief of Staff for the Office of the Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, in an email to Mannina, the press aide. `Raj was not on the list sent to S; he was added at their insistence.'"

In 2012, Under Clinton's State Department The US Began Secret U.S. -Iran Negotiations In Oman. "Oman, a trusted U.S. ally in a strategic location at the toe of the Arabian Peninsula, prides itself as a stable presence and mediator in a region beset by conflict. The country of 4 million people has a `good neighbor' policy with Iran and close relations with the West. Its ruler, Sultan Qaboos, orchestrated secret U.S.-Iran contacts that began in Muscat in 2012, leading to the first formal talks between the United States and Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution and helping to pave the way for July's nuclear deal, a legacy defining foreign-policy achievement for President Barack Obama." (Jason Szep, Matt Spetalnick and Yara Bayoumy, "In

Favoring Middle East Ally, U.S. Glossed Over Human Rights Record," Reuters, 12/21/15)

According To The 2012 U.S. State Department Report On Human Rights Practices For Oman, Human Rights Violations Reported Included Political And Economic Discrimination Of Women, And Restriction Of Freedom Of Speech And Assembly. "The principal human rights problems were the inability of citizens to change their government, limits on freedom of speech and assembly, and discrimination against women, including political and economic exclusion based on cultural norms. Thirty-two individuals were convicted on charges of libel against the sultan during the year, receiving prison sentences from six to 18 months and fines of 500 to 1,000 Omani rials (approximately $1,300 to $2,600). Another 12 individuals were convicted on charges of illegal assembly (assembly withou t a permit) while peacefully protesting some of the libel convictions. The protesters each received a prison sentence of one year and a 1,000 rial fine (approximately $2,600)." ("Country ReportsOn Human RightsPractices For 2012:

Oman," U.S. State Department, 4/19/13)

(Jason Szep, Matt Spetalnick and Yara Bayoumy, "In Favoring Middle East Ally, U.S. Glossed Over Human Rights Record," Reuters, 12/21/15)

In 2015 Oman Was "Downgraded" On A State Department List Of Countries With Poor Human Trafficking Records So It Could Avoid Incurring U.S. Sanctions. "In April, diplomats in the State Department's Near Eastern Affairs bureau and experts in the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons agreed that Oman would be downgraded from `Tier 2' to a status known as `Tier 2 Watch List', one notch above a level that can incur U.S. sanctions, according to an internal department memo seen by Reuters."

Hyde United States-India Peaceful Atomic Energy Cooperation Act giving legal effect to his July 2005 promise to Ind ian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to confer de facto recognition to India as a nuclear weapons state. That status has enormous symbolic importance to India and the world. It also has the practical consequence of allowing India to import nuclear technology for peaceful power production without having first to renounce its developing nuclear arsenal (which it has consistently vowed never to do). The bill passed with broad bipartisan support, including favorable votes from Democratic heavyweights such as Senator Joseph Biden (from Delaware), Representative Tom Lantos (from California), Senator John Kerry (from Massachusetts), Senator Hillary Clinton (from New York), and Senator Christopher Dodd (from Connecticut)."
